Well, I spoke the words out loud. Looks like I’m going to have a slow week with work. Oops! Not so much a slow week now.
Already way too close to bedtime so this is going to be a quick post as well. Still wanted to join in with Sandra at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom to plan the week.
The Weather 
Who knows. It was rainy and cold this morning, then hit the mid 40’s and is supposed to be in the 60’s on Tuesday before turning cold again. Just pick a season and wait a few minutes. We’ll get it for you.
As I Look Outside My Window
It’s dark but if I looked out the front window I could see all the neighbor’s nice Christmas decorations in their yard.
Right Now
I should probably be going to bed instead of writing this post.
Thinking and Pondering 
We had a busy weekend so very little Christmas decorating happened. Thinking about whether I want to try to do it during the week or wait until the weekend. Also, what on Earth I’m going to do with the preschool kids tomorrow (the teacher I’m covering for called today thinking she might have the flu so no plan).
How I Am Feeling
Tired. A bit achy in my hands and legs (from the weather I think).
On The Breakfast Plate
I made blueberry muffins (from a mix though I did throw in some extra blueberries)
On The Lunch Plate
Fish Sandwich and Fries from Culvers
On The Dinner Plate
Nothing, lunch didn’t set well. Picked up rotisserie chicken for rest of family to eat.
What I’m Wearing Today
It was Chief’s Sunday so a red shirt/black pants but for tomorrow (Monday) I have no idea. Might be a leggings and sweater kind of day. Hopefully, it won’t get too hot if I go that route.
On My Reading Pile
Christmas at the Island Hotel by Jenny Colgan. How I started with the 4th book in a series I have no idea. Lots of books I must find time to go pick up at the library!
On My TV
Football (Really enjoyed the Buffalo vs Detroit game on Thanksgiving and of course, what I got to see of the Chiefs game this afternoon). Enchanted and Disenchanted on Disney Plus. Love the first, and also loved the second one!
On My Menu
Well, my grocery run is going to be off tomorrow…so let’s see what we can pull from things we have already.
MONDAY: Brisket (in freezer), maybe baked potatoes? *I work 8-4:30* *J has a lesson at 6:30*
TUESDAY: Spinach chicken skillet *I work 1:30-3:30 but think it might get extended*
WEDNESDAY: Pepper steak *J has an appt at 11*
THURSDAY: No idea, maybe pork chops (from freezer)
FRIDAY: We have dinner plans with friends to meet at a Japanese Steakhouse
Looking Around The House
We got new recliners today to replace a broken double love seat! Everything else is in a bit of chaos.
On My To Do List
- Write and schedule this post
- Grocery store at some point
- Clean and decorate for Christmas
- Organize December bills, it’s tax season *yay* *sarcasm* (maybe pay 1 that’s due super early)
- Few texts/phone calls to make/send
- Probably lots of other stuff I can’t think of right now
From The Camera
My husband and I had a bit of an adventure on Saturday. We went to a small town to shop, then to pick up his deer, and then to his hunting lease land to talk to the owner. Snapped some pictures of the land area

Enjoyed reading your post, Jean. Sounds like a harried start to the week, but I’m sure that your Monday will come together and turn out just fine! Your menu plans sound great! Did you all get rain over the weekend? We got two-inches worth and I’m tha!nkful! We really needed itI I can’t wait to go out to the park and see how high the creek is. Hopefully, it’s over the low-water bridge and actually moving. It’s been from stagnant to dry and back to stagnant for months now. Have a great Monday, my friend! Blessings!
Thank you! Yesterday wasn’t too bad but was pretty much a Monday. We got a little rain overnight Saturday into Sunday but it was clearing off by noon. I’m sure were still behind in the rainfall around here as well. Glad you got some down that way. Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!
Love the nature pictures. Christmas decorating to come, that’ll be fun 🙂 Making the house all cosy.
Have a great week
Thank you! Right now I’m taking a break from the huge clean up before the decorating. SIGH, not sure how the house got so messy. Well, I do know…all the people that live here. LOL. Hope you are having a great week so far!
I love those pictures so much! I wish we could find a house near a lake, seems like it would be so calming to the spirit! I’m in Detroit, but I didn’t watch the football game. I hear the Lions have actually won a few games this season hahahaha. Hope you have a wonderful week! Enjoy picking up books at the library!

Thank you! I’d love to live by a lake as well although giving up the convenience of a quick grocery store run might be a bit of a trade-off for me. Most the lakes in any pictures I share are just from local parks. I guess were lucky to be just a few minutes drive to some decent sized lakes. My older son just went to Detroit (not sure what part) a few months ago and enjoyed it. He went there for some video game tournament thing. Hope you’ve had a wonderful week and are enjoying a great weekend.
Sorry to be late! I love your quote for the week though! It’s absolutely perfect for the week I’ve had so far! I hope your week has gotten better since you wrote this post and that the rest of your week goes wonderfully! Thank you so much for playing along with Blogmas too. It means a lot to me.
Thank you! My week wasn’t bad but it did end up being super busy with work. (I should have known better than to say something about an upcoming week being slow out loud, ha!). I’ve really enjoyed playing along with Blogmas, I’m glad you are doing it again this year. Hope your weekend is going great!
